Attorney Profile : John F. McCarthy
John F. McCarthy

While it was rewarding to defend companies that made home, home, against some frivolous lawsuits, John always rooted for the underdog. So, he and his wife moved back to San Diego, where he hung out his shingle, and started his own practice. He sought to represent good people, who had been clearly wronged, and just wanted what they were entitled to under the law. He did that, and quickly became known as one of the top young attorneys in San Diego, California, and even the United States. 

As John continued to grow as a person and attorney, he was fortunate enough to learn from some of the top trial lawyers in the country, and to count them as friends and colleagues. His practice expanded.  He started taking on more personal injury work for the first time since he worked with Sam, and and he was admitted into the Wisconsin bar so he could work more with Clay. Family has always been important to John and his wife. So, when they had the opportunity to move their family back to the Central Coast, during the pandemic, they jumped at it. Now they live about 10 minutes from John’s parents, about 20 minutes from John’s sister, and about an hour-and-a-half from his in-laws. While John’s practice has expanded, he has always been true to his roots. He’s still the guy who was born and raised on the Central Coast, who always wanted to help regular folks get the help they needed. 

When he’s not fighting for people’s rights, he’s spending time with the people he loves. He’s typically discussing politics, or books, or philosophy. But, you can also find him listening to music, or playing the guitar. He’s a bigtime movie buff. He’s a diehard fan of the Giants, Sharks, and 49ers. He enjoys traveling, cooking, and brewing. He loves spending time in the great outdoors.
